[PATCH v2 1/4] powerpc/instruction_dump: Fix kernel crash with show_instructions

With Hard Lockup watchdog, we can hit a BUG() if we take a watchdog
interrupt when in OPAL mode. This happens in show_instructions()
where the kernel takes the watchdog NMI IPI with MSR_IR == 0.
With that show_instructions() updates the variable pc in the loop
and the second iterations will result in BUG().

We hit the BUG_ON due the below check in  __va()

 #define __va(x)								\
({									\
	VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((unsigned long)(x) >= PAGE_OFFSET);		\
	(void *)(unsigned long)((phys_addr_t)(x) | PAGE_OFFSET);	\
})

Fixes: 4dd7554a6456 ("powerpc/64: Add VIRTUAL_BUG_ON checks for __va and __pa addresses")
